Vinyl Ether Maleic Anhydride Copolymers: Efficient and Reusable Sorbents for Removing Heavy Metals from Water.
Article in ACS macro letters, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Vinyl ethermaleic anhydride (VEMA) copolymers were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) copolymerization and hydrolyzed to generate dicarboxylate-functionalized adsorbents for heavy metal removal from water. The RAFT-synthesized copolymer had superior removal efficiencies compared to a conventional free-radical synthesized analogue, while maintaining adsorption performance over multiple cycles. The metals could be removed under batch and flow conditions. Competitive experiments demonstrated adsorption in the order: Cu(II) > Fe(III) > Ni(II) > Co(II) > Zn(II). The impact of pH and metal concentration was investigated. Overall, hydrolyzed VEMA copolymers are promising reusable adsorbents in water treatment applications.
